Do you feel confident supporting someone who is grieving?
For health and social care professionals, navigating conversations around loss can be challenging—both when supporting others and managing personal experiences of grief.
This interactive 3.5 hour online session, led by experienced bereavement leads, will enhance your confidence and skills in providing compassionate bereavement support.
This course is held online via Zoom, and will be facilitated by leading experts in bereavement services and support.

- Recognise the signs of grief in individuals and understand the various factors influencing their grieving process.
- Engage in compassionate and supportive conversations with people who are bereft and grieving.
- Practise self-care strategies to maintain emotional well-being while supporting people with a loved one that has died.
